Tokyo, July 21, 2021 - Palette Town, the shopping and entertainment complex in Tokyo's waterfront area, operated by Mori Building Co., Ltd., AMLUX TOYOTA CO.,LTD, Sanoyas Rides Corporation, Zepp Hall Network Inc. and Mori Building - teamLab Limited Liability Partnership, announced today that in accordance with the area's ongoing redevelopment, it will begin closing its various facilities beginning this coming December.

Notable facilities in the complex include the VenusFort medieval European-style shopping mall, MEGA WEB mobility-experience theme park, Palette Town Giant Sky Wheel (ferris wheel) and Zepp Tokyo music hall, all of which have helped to turn the area into a major attraction. In June 2018, MORI Building DIGITAL ART MUSEUM: teamLab Borderless operated by Mori Building and the teamLab art collective opened as a major addition and since then it has become one of the most talked-about destinations in the area.
Following the closure of Palette Town, the property's operators, Toyota Motor Corporation and Mori Building Co., Ltd., expect to redevelop the waterfront area as an all-new growth driver, by planning and considering facilities that will help create a new bustling atmosphere and help boost the area's magnetism.
